Details

Description: Since pacman, makepkg etc. have this option `settable'.
Meaning, to have this option configurable via some config.
This effects me because I turned off the colors for pacman and makepkg and pacman-optimize has them on, by default.
I'm aware about its *--nocolor* switch and I'm aware that pacman-optimize is just a quick, hacked script.
It would be nice that pacman-optimize is complement with them.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

Only thing is, I'm not sure is it worth the effort.. :/

It'd be nice if people would stop using this script. The most valuable thing it does is fault pages to cache the DBs in RAM. You could replace the script with the below and get *very* similar mileage:

find /var/lib/pacman -type f -exec stat {} + &>/dev/null

Really, this script needs to die. We do not need to add useless bells and whistles to it.
